Happy Hump-day Lovelies!!!
I believe I picked this pattern up in 2013, with the full intention
of making this shirt!
I still plan to make this top real soon, because that gathered zip
thing is soo Boss!!
But once I started cutting all the pieces out, I realized the dress looked
really cute and only had a few pieces to sew up!
I've been passing over this crinkly knit fabric, that's been in my stash
closet for years. I can't remember where I got it, but its sheer, stretchy
and I had just enough for this dress.

It didn't take much time to sew up, no fba was needed, I could've
lengthened it, but hey... I wanted to sew and go!! lol

I used clear elastic around the neckline, so it could lie flat. The shoulders were lightly gathered and the bodice actually has a lot of ease, kinda blousey in the bodice area, so I was unsure if or what
size belt to wear with it! Because I am not about to readjust
the fullness in no way!!

I forgot to add my usual length adjustment, so out the envelope it's kinda short on me, but I improvised...
I lined the skirt with a thin jetset knit from Handcock's, and
did a rolled hem treatment to make up for that short hem.

Worked out fine!
I'm pretty satisfied with the overall turnout, the mishaps were very minor and
I get a lot of wear out of this one, with a pair of sandals.
